Fraternities and Sororities

The growing number of student groups, fraternities, and sororities at the U of A can play a vibrant role in undergraduate student life.

The first University of Alberta fraternity was charted in 1930 and, today, there are twelve fraternities and six sororities made up of more than 600 students. These 18 chapters are governed by one of two councils: the Interfraternity Council and the Panhellenic Council.

Fraternities and sororities are recognized as University of Alberta Student Groups by the Office of the Dean of Students and the Students' Union. Like all other University Student Groups, fraternities and sororities reapply for University and Students' Union recognition annually and are supported by Student Group Services and the Office of the Dean of Students. Fraternities and sororities are also supported by local alumni advisors and their international headquarters.
